Abstract
Recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis (RRLP) which is characterized by wart like growths in the larynx is a rare benign disease
seen in children and young adults and a few cases are reported in old aged adults. The spread of RRLP throughout
the respiratory tract occurs rarely; and involvement of the distal bronchi, bronchioles, and lung parenchyma is very rare.
We report a case of tracheobronchial and pulmonary spread of RRLP in a 70-year-old man after two previous surgeries. Despite
the rarity of this disease in adults, the correct diagnosis may be suggested by a characteristic combination of clinical,
radiographic, and pathologic features
